Suddenly jobs saved or created “never expected to be the public accounting of Obama’s goal to save or create 3.5 million jobs”

Obama rushes home for minor injury to family friend, keeps golfing after EunuchBomber attack

Got an Obamateurism of the Day? If you see a foul-up by Barack Obama, e-mail it to me at [email protected] with the quote and the link to the Obamateurism. I’ll post the best Obamateurisms on a daily basis, depending on how many I receive. Include a link to your blog, and I’ll give some link love as well. And unlike Slate, I promise to end the feature when Barack Obama leaves office.

Misquoting the history of Lady Liberty and the poem at its’ base. Plus (my add)attempting to compare illegal immigrants to those who paid the price to come here legally and become a legitimate part of the American Melting Pot.

Obmateurism of the Week is the highlight of my week. I usually pick the most popular but not today. I went with golf.

I made a video of your article on Obama’s saying we’re heading in the right direction. A comment I read here gave me the idea. I used all the expected videos but the ending is somewhat of a surprise… or not.

The saddest part of Obama’s gaffe on the Statue of Liberty is that millions of Americans believed him. The eunuch who would be king just makes it up as he goes along. His administration knows just as little about American history as he does.

Actually it may be a combination of two Obamateuisms that epitomize his contempt for the country that has given him so much.
They are:
•“Whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower”

•“I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.”

These are two of the most powerful principles that have propelled the USA to lead the world. They are a large part of the foundation upon which we still stand.

“A reporter who was there at that time, all those years ago, said: ‘If there is a fine, splendid world in the future, it will largely be because the United States and Russia get on well together. If it is in trouble, it will be because they don’t get on well. It’s as simple as that.’”

Mr. President, the decades that followed saw many troubles — too many troubles. But 65 years later, it’s still as simple as that. Our countries are more secure and the world is safer when the United States and Russia get on well together.

Obviously his statement on our relationship with Russia was the most embarrassing and significant Obamateurism of the week as it demonstrated his foreign policy ignorance and ineptness. The arrest of Russian spies hot on the utterance of “If it is in trouble, it will be because they don’t get on well. It’s as simple as that.” underlined his utter incompetence.

The other gaffes are mere fluff compared to his getting this issue fundamentally wrong.

Screwing up the history of Lady Liberty and the poem. You’d think that even if Øbama couldn’t get it right, then at least his writers could. Apparently he’s a doofus who has surrounded himself with doofuses.

“We are heading in the right direction”, Barack Obama

The first courageous and proper act of this nation was at its birth—it dissolved the tyrannical bands that bound us to Britain. Through our failure to remember the sacrifices and lessons learned from the 1776 timeframe, we have welcomed tyranny back on our shores—only this time, a tyranny of a different flavor. The next courageous and proper act of this nation will be first the framing of the argument in hopefully as eloquent a fashion as Thomas Jefferson did back then. The second will be setting about the painstaking process of removing the cancerous lesions that are crowding out freedom and liberty. They have to be cast away from our shores and our children, and our children’s children, must never forget the lessons of history.

The Statue of Liberty and I’ll bet people did know.
The history channel had a series on that had quite a large portion on the statue and while I don’t watch the history channel often, I did catch that part. The speech would have been correct if odumbo had just watched the history channel.
A point that makes him far dumber than his supporters and is absolutely stunning to me.

The man is not American, no matter where he was born . 57 states, shout out to “medal of Honor” winning indian chief during Ft Hood, corpse-man, and as scary as insulting, a Jay Walking level knowledge of all American history .

..Mister Kraft, it is magnificent! I borrowed it and posted it over on my blog (with full attribution, of course); I am recommending that my friends to the same. The segue into Catrter’s “Malaise Speech” is absolutely precious — from a person who listened to that one real time.

Excellent job!

Bring us more.

Thanks so much everyone. RobtKraft is my YouTube channel. He owns the NE Patriots. I, however, don’t. I’m Granny Jan, aged 65, live in MA and a former Patriot’s fan.

I have lots of videos, actually 100s but I’m continually deleting them. Some of my videos are so politically incorrect that even I wonder where I get the chutzpah. Maybe it’s genetic ;-)

Kennedy had his “Ich Bein Eine Berliner!” (I am a jelly donut!) moment.
Obama now has his.

“I am a Berliner” is “Ich bin Berliner. Kennedy used a metaphorical expression “Ich Bein Eine Berliner!” Which can mean “I am like a Berliner” or “I am like a jelly donut ” as Berliner is also the name of a jelly filled pastry we Americans would call a jelly donut.

Question, what did the Germans think when Bill Clinton said “Ich Bein Eine Berliner!”?

“I am like a jelly donut “?

Keep that “like” in mind when folks tell you Kennedy never said he was a “a jelly donut”.

Same as Gore when he said he “created the internet” is often quoted as he “invented the internet”.

It was a moving finish, despite Obama incorrectly reciting the famous line as “yearning to be free” instead of “yearning to breathe free.”

Between the EPA and CapNtax, we can’t exactly promise new immigrants free breathing anymore so Obama just thought he would amend the poem. After all, you can’t have people remembering when exhaling was free.
